The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners held a meeting on February 4, 2025, focusing on the successful fundraising efforts for breast cancer awareness through community events. The meeting highlighted the achievements of the "Making Strides Against Breast Cancer" initiative, which has grown significantly over the past four years.

Chairman Rodriguez opened the session by acknowledging the contributions of Director QT and the airport team in organizing these events. He emphasized the importance of breast cancer awareness, stating that it is a year-round commitment, not limited to a specific month. The airport has become a key venue for fundraising, with the latest event attracting approximately 5,500 participants and raising $130,000 over four years.

Director QT expressed gratitude to the mayor, fellow commissioners, and various departments that supported the initiative. He noted the collaborative efforts that have made the events successful, including partnerships with local organizations and volunteers. The upcoming events were also announced, with a 5K scheduled at Miami Executive Airport in March, followed by another at Opelika Executive Airport in April, and a major event at Miami International Airport in October.

The meeting concluded with a presentation of a symbolic check to recognize the fundraising efforts, underscoring the community's commitment to fighting breast cancer. Despite a lack of quorum due to some commissioners being absent, the discussions reflected a strong dedication to public health initiatives and community engagement in Miami-Dade County.
